Nikki Tate is a writer and storyteller living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia with her daughter and several furred and feathered friends. She is the author of the Tarragon Island novels (about a young writer living on a fictitious Gulf Island), the StableMates series of horse novels, and Cave of Departure, the first book in the Estorian Chronicles, a fantasy series about a tribe of nomadic storytellers.
Her newest books are: a short historical novel about the Pony Express and set in Nevada (Orca Books, Spring 2002) and the 7th book in the StableMates series, Keeping Secrets at Dark Creek. She is currently working on new titles in each of her existing three series.
Tate also works as a freelance writer, writing on subjects from tattoos to compost. Her articles, reviews, and opinion pieces have appeared in publications in Canada, Japan and the USA. She is much in demand as a workshop leader, public speaker, and professional storyteller. Her high-energy storytelling performances of the Arthurian legends mesmerize audiences from ages twelve through adult.
When she's not writing or performing, Tate enjoys pottering in her garden or horseback riding through the picturesque countryside of the Saanich Peninsula.
